The Phoenix Blood Legend
Ch. 29 — Lessons From Nature

Xing Wang immediately looked for a suitable place to live in for a few days after successfully entering into the Third layer Forest.

After all, he had just experienced a cultivation breakthrough, so the Qi present in his body had not been completely stable. Therefore he needed a safe and quiet place to meditate for a few days.

After all, the Serpent Prince who had come with him on this journey, was still not fully healed from the wounds. The Shadow Tiger Claw had injured the Snake Prince's body quite deeply, so the healing process also took quite a long time.

The two of them continued to walk through this third layer forest while looking for a suitable location to be used as a temporary residence. Of course, what they were looking for was not a rock Goa because now they were in the middle of a forest, not a mountain range.

They were both looking for a tree big enough to turn into a treehouse. And, since Xing Wang was intending to meditate, then he had to look for a tree that grew in a place with extremely abundant natural energy.

It had been nearly five kilometers they both walked down this vast forest. But, Xing Wang had yet to find a suitable tree to serve as a temporary residence.

However, his trip this time was not at all fruitless. Because, during the journey, he met some high-level Beasts and immediately hunted them. He took the heart of that high-level Beast and some parts of its body that had quite high selling value.

Almost most of the Beasts that lived within the forest that existed in this Early Continent, were classified as very step because this Continent was rarely entered by humans. There were even Beasts who were direct descendants of Sacred Beasts.

So, it could be said that Xing Wang also got a sizable harvest because in his hands right now he had obtained ten high-level Beast hearts and some special parts of those Beasts.

“It looks like this location is suitable for residence,” exclaimed Xing Wang who suddenly stopped to feel the natural energy that exists in this place.

Xing Wang finally reached the center of the third layer forest. In this place, natural energy was very abundant and there were some very large trees.

“See the size of the trees in this place, it seems like the age of the trees in this place has reached hundreds of years. Too bad if we have to damage these trees to be a tree house,” replied the helpless Serpent Prince looked gloomy.

Each Beast must have a feeling of its own in every tree they encounter because they have all relied on trees to shelter from uncertain weather changes.

Sometimes the weather will be so hot that it feels like burning the skin, sometimes it also turns very cold to puncture the bone. Not to mention if there is a sudden storm. To whom would these Beasts take refuge if not in the trees?

Because of this, some Beasts in certain Clans sometimes make very strict rules to preserve the trees that live in this forest. Like the message left by the Sacred Beasts as the ancestors of the Beasts living in this forest.

...'If you all take good care of Nature, then Nature will protect you....

...However, if you damage Nature, then the power of Nature will destroy you....

...The lucky ones are the ones who always take good care of things....

...And those who lose, there are those who always ruin everything.'...

As a former Great Mage who was extremely powerful, naturally Xing Wang knew of this because he had already spent a lot of time with the Beasts. He also had a Great-level Beast as his friend who was now somehow in his state. Because, when defeated by the Demonic Dragon, the Beast still stayed in his Magic Academy to guard the place.

“Who said that to make a tree house, we are required to damage a tree first. There is still a way to make a tree house without having to damage the tree,” Xing Wang said in a relaxed tone as he looked up at the sky.

“What do you mean? Not to make a tree house, we have to hole the tree trunk to be like a Goa. If so, how can a tree still survive?” reply the fierce Serpent Prince was slightly surprised.

Xing Wang pointed his right hand at a large tree right in front of him. He pointed with his index finger a bird's nest in one of the tree branches.

The bird's nest is made of dry grass that is put together to make a circle similar to an egg with a hole in the front that is used as a door.

“You look carefully. The bird had a small tree house on top of a tree branch. The small tree house is usually called a bird's nest. Despite its small size, you can't deny that the bird's nest is still a tree house. Did the bird damage a tree to make a bird's nest?”

The Snake Prince stared at the bird's nest meticulously. Previously, he often saw bird nests even almost every day he saw this object. However, only this time did he realize that the bird's nest was another form of a tree house.

Earlier, the, The Serpent Prince only thought that the bird's nest was a useless dried grass arranged carelessly by a bird and only used for a short rest before arriving at their living quarters actually was.

“I understand now. Thank you for giving me such a valuable lesson,” said the sincere Prince of Snake.

“I'm just helping you to see more clearly about Nature. You don't have to be too shy,” Xing Wang replied then continued. “After all we will also get an extra protection if making a tree house at the top.”

The Serpent Prince nodded his head in agreement with Xing Wang's remark because if the tree house was on top, it was a sign of agreement, then the disturbance they would get would be even less because most of the Beasts living in this forest were land animals that were destined to walk on the ground.

“Can you show me the picture of the tree house we're going to make?” continued the Snake Prince asked curiously.

Xing Wang then pointed at a few tree branches while explaining his plan in detail. He also pointed to some trees that had fallen for some reason because Xing Wang saw that part of the tree item was still very good and inedible with age. These trees will be the foundation of the tree house they will make.

The two of them then immediately made a tree house because the day had begun to day.
